Chapter 158: Master Lock Picker
As the middle-aged man guessed, most of the Tiansheng Group’s high-level personnel were desperately climbing the tower to improve their strength.
In the entire office building, the highest position left was only the executive director.
She was also commonly known as the logistics director.
She was a thin middle-aged woman who liked to wear chiffon skirts and stilettos. She could guide the way to the Tiansheng Group’s warehouse location, but she did not have access to the warehouse.
!!
The higher-ups kept many valuable treasures and not in the relic warehouse.
Furthermore, it seemed like the higher-ups had seized numerous relics.
The procedures were not complete at all.
In short, all the good relics were in the hands of the higher-ups. Even if there had been leftovers, they were all that no one wanted.
The organization was in turmoil.
Leaders at every level were trying to get stronger, so they did not have the heart to run a group that seemed to be getting worse.
It would only change if Qin Dongbei returned to the headquarters and reorganized his group.
Wang Wen felt a little speechless as he looked at the woman with a sad face.
He was only there to rob, but he did not expect to hear such explosive news.
If he had not heard it with his own ears, who would believe that the seemingly bright and beautiful second consortium was actually about to collapse?
Qin Dongbei did not seem to have the heart to lead the group after Zheng Xiaodong died. His thoughts were consumed by the need to gain strength and exact retribution on the man in green.
Hatred would always blind men.
However, Wang Wen was not picky.
His primary purpose for going to the Tiansheng Group was not to miss out.
He would take as much as he could while the old monsters were not around.
At the same time, it would be even better if he could also disgust the enemies of both sides.
Anyway, the Tiansheng Group had completely fallen out with him. They had found out about the man in green; they would not let him off so easily.
Wang Wen would be happy if his enemies were unhappy. So, he insisted that the executive director lead him to the Tiansheng Group’s relics warehouse.
When they reached the thick and heavy alloy door, it was indeed as she had said. They would not be able to open the door.
Wang Wen carefully checked the door. It did not seem like it could be broken by brute force.
Even the walls were made of a tough dark alloy. Unless a professional heavy equipment operator was used to cut the door, outsiders would not be able to enter it.
Wang Wen tried to crack the secret room and began to study the alloy door.
He released a small amount of mental energy to the door. It slowly crept through the cracks and studied the mechanical structure of the door lock, which was how it took some of the parts out.
No matter how intelligent the lock was, it had to be opened and closed via the mechanical parts.
However, there was no corresponding key then. If he could use his spiritual power to open the mechanical parts, it would be the same as opening the lock.
He studied it for a long time.
He tore it apart.
Initially, there was no movement.
The middle-aged man and the executive director behind him waited in fear, and then they began to chat.
The executive director asked the middle-aged man, “Are we going to die today?”
The middle-aged man recalled his subordinate’s experience. He shook his head solemnly and said, “It’s hard to say. That person does things without any reservations. I can’t guess what his next step will be. ”
The executive director, wearing a chiffon dress and high heels, had a sorrowful expression on her face. “If I had known that this would happen, I would have agreed to it when my son pestered me to go to the amusement park before I left home today. After all, no one is in charge of the company anymore.”
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned. “How old is your son?”
The executive director said shyly, “He just turned eight this year.
The middle-aged man nodded and sighed. “What a pity.”
It was unknown whether he was regretting his dying life or something else.
The two of them sighed and chatted.
Wang Wen, leaning against the door, suddenly turned around and asked curiously, “What does reset mean?”
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and answered with uncertainty, “Restart the computer.”
The executive director raised her hand. “Restore the factory settings? Where did you see it?”
Wang Wen pointed at the door lock. “The inside.”
“Inside?” The executive director and the middle-aged man looked at each other and consciously cut off their remaining curiosity.
The tower climbers were strange and could not be understood by ordinary people.
Perhaps some people had clairvoyance.
With that in mind, the executive director secretly covered a corner of her clothes, and her arms appeared to cover the essential parts.
Wang Wen thought for a moment.
He got up and moved back until he reached the limit of the spiritual connection distance, then he stopped.
The two hostages looked at each other, hurriedly followed him away from the gate, and ran behind Wang Wen.
They were ready.
Wang Wen controlled his mental power to poke the small button inside the door.
The sound of gears and bearings rubbing against each other could be heard.
The heavy alloy door lock was pulled back, and the entire door slowly opened.
“It’s opened!” The two hostages looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
Who was that person?
Not only was he ruthless, but he was also even good at picking locks!
Wang Wen ignored their shock and patted them on the shoulders, signaling for the two of them to go ahead and scout the way.
The executive director and a middle-aged man walked into the relic warehouse helplessly.
They discovered and activated the lighting switch.
Inside, rows of towering shelves were neatly lined up.
Each shelf had a placard on the front that provided basic information about the goods in their respective placements.
For example, the name and the level.
Even though the shelves were filled, Wang Wen only saw commonplace products. There were no great treasures of any kind.
As expected, the high-grade goods were all taken by someone else.
The Tiansheng Group was utterly corrupt. They did not follow any rules. How could they let someone take those things?
Wang Wen grumbled in his heart. His hands were not slow at all.
He pulled the drone toward him and began to scan the items one by one.
The two people beside him watched as he took the items. They did not dare to make a sound.
Even the middle-aged man was slightly envious when he saw those shiny and rare items.
Especially when he saw that Wang Wen would pick up some things that looked like elixirs and casually wash them with water before throwing them into his mouth and chewing them. He could not help but swallow his saliva.
Wang Wen happened to see it.
Wang Wen smiled and asked, “You want to eat it too?”
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned. His heart was filled with joy, but he said hesitantly, “Me? May I?”
Wang Wen shook his head. “Of course not. You’re not a tower climber. You’ll die if you eat it.”
The middle-aged man stopped in his tracks, and his face was filled with embarrassment.
Wang Wen smiled again. “I’m just kidding. You’ll die today whether you eat it or not.”
The middle-aged man looked at him in shock.
Wang Wen casually threw the box with the elixirs. With an innocent expression, he said, “That was a joke! Take it well. This is the World Tower’s 150th floor’s ordinary item, Daluo Creation Pill. It’s a scary name, but it’s only used to nourish your qi and blood.”
He touched the dried blood in his nose. He picked up another one and threw it into his mouth, chewing on it. “It won’t save your life, but it can treat some minor injuries and pain. It’s better than a bunch of hospital pills with side effects. The market price for tower climbers is 3,000 points per pill. Since we’re so familiar with each other, I’ll give you a 50% discount. You’re welcome to take it for 6,000 points.”
